berlin draw declined still equals draw -_-

If I straight head away to move 24. Rhd8 without running through the previous moves, I would have thought that Black castled queenside.

this is why everyone hates the berlin
*meanwhile me playing the French*
*still got hated ;-;*

this is why everyone hates the berlin
I like berlin draw, I am sad he didnt repeat :/

Well, blame it on your technique. Instead of swapping rooks with 24.Rad1? Black is in huge trouble after 24.Be5.
what technique? i was happy with the draw in the berlin line....

Going for a draw in a winning position (clear pawn up and much better placed pieces) isn't the smartest of choices.
i am referring to the berlin line @pfren but yes i blew this game away, didnt feel much about it afterwards and just kept on playing as it was subtle with me just trading rooks
Why does Pfren always sound so grumpy. Like jeez dude you always sound so disappointed and quite uncontent

he is a IM and most of the chess community which involves higher rated or elite players from 2000+ are pretty elitist or pessimistic from my perspective. if you lose a game, you would either rage be disappointed or simply cry and just lose motivation. his grumpiness in your words doesnt really affect anyone or anything that happens here as he is a critic like anyone else and can simply state his own opinion in my forums unless i block which i wont
